RIP Once Output Many (ROOM) Workflow Automation

DigiPage is a powerful room (render once, output many) workflow designed to handle high volume page processing. Digipage provides for post rip imposition and complete digital integrity between proofing, plating and the final printed work.

Unique DigiPage files contain a complete set of production workflow files
• High resolution screened separations for final output to film, plate, or digital press.
• A low resolution composite proofing file, that has been created from the high resolution screened separations
• A 72-dpi thumbnail preview file visible when placing DigiPage files into any imposition or layout program.

Pages processed through DigiPage are truly “DotLocked” - meaning that they have been fully RIP’d and halftone screened. So all transparencies, overprints, font breaks are fully rendered for output. All pages for any given job are be processed in advance of proofing and imposition. Print directly to the RIP from any application, or use Hot Folder input queues, and DigiPage automatically outputs a single "DigiPage" file for each page the job with accurate file naming and page numbering.

All composite proofing files are generated directly from high resolution screened (1-bit TIFF) separation data so that the digital proofs are always an exact match to the final printed work.

RIP - Proof - Plot : True digital integrity proofing and Post-RIP Imposition using DigiPage ROOM Automation eliminates all errors!

New features in DigiPage now allow a copy of the composite proofing file to be automatically generated and saved as an 8-bit .tiff or raster-PDF file in any specified directory. This allows anyone on the local network to use standard file viewing applications such as Reader or Preview to perform post-RIP soft proofing of all pages.

DigiPage can be used to make high quality halftone dot proofs on ink-jet printers for hard copy proofs that accurately show fit, traps, knockouts and over-prints.

DigiPage raster-PDF halftone dot proofs can also be e-mailed for client review, collaboration and approval.
DigiPage dynamically generates output directory hierarchies based on file naming. Combined with the advanced True Page Numbering capabilities file output management, post-RIP proofing and imposition can be totally automated.

Built on industry standards, DigiPage files are compatible with all imposition applications, digital proofers, film imagers, digital presses and CTP devices.

The DigiPage ROOM Workflow Automation Plug-in is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux Harlequin RIPs, version 6.0 and higher!
